Burlington, Ont. — Jan. 27, 2023 — The City of Burlington is creating a new residential parking permit program for residential on-street parking. Residents are being asked to take a short online survey by Monday, March 6, 2023. The information gathered from the survey will be used to inform City staff. They will use the information to:
- Create an on-street parking permit program;
- Balance on-street parking with safety, road use, enforcement and emergency vehicle access;
- Create consistent rules and regulations city-wide and
- Create a residential on-street parking permit that meets residents needs based on changing conditions
As parking needs change in Burlington, the City is working to offer residents parking options to manage parking needs and the growth of our city through development. Residents are encouraged to take the survey to let staff know how to best serve residents. The goal of the on-street parking permit program is to provide a permit program that works safely and maintains emergency vehicle access.
The parking permit survey opened on Thursday, Jan. 26 and closes on Monday, March 6, 2023. Staff will present a report with the survey results and a permit program to the City’s Community Planning, Regulation & Mobility Committee and City Council this summer.

“Parking in our city has seen a lot of changes over the years. Now we need to offer you parking options to help you manage new ways of working, your changing family and the growth of our city through development. This survey is your chance to let us know how we can best serve you, our residents. These changes look different for all of us and there are numerous factors to consider. For some, adult children and parents may be living at home, for others that live in tighter neighborhoods – parking may be an issue due to the design of the community.
We want to know what is ideal for all of our residents so we can provide a permit program that works safely and maintains emergency vehicle access.” — Kaylan Edgcumbe, Manager of Integrated Mobility, City of Burlington

More & more families are experiencing parking issues on Burlington streets. Our children have four grandchildren-17-23 who are living at their parents because they can’t afford to live out. They are all working & own cars. The parents have a double driveway & garage but still have at least one car on the street overnight. Our grandkids are all very responsible but are caught in a financial dilemma. Parking permits would be a great help.
